Brace yourself for an extremely busy week for the media industry. At the top of the agenda are a slew of third-quarter earnings from big media companies like Time Warner, Cablevision, and CBS, some of which have been rescheduled from last week because of Sandy. Monday, WSJ examines what the warnings last month from several big advertising agencies about a significant slowdown in ad spending signals about the media earnings this week.

What’s more, the fourth-quarter outlook already looks increasingly clouded by the impact of Sandy, which saw some TV stations cutting or eliminating advertisements all together during the storm. In addition, cable companies are planning to credit consumers for lost service due even to power outages. Both actions will likely prove expensive, and expect investors to leap on any related comments this week from executives.
